reported big strike in the King OF the
Hills mine, Wood River, simply chroni-
Giles another success for our townsman,
Charles Pepper The profitable working
OF the Phoebe teaching process on large
scale enures to the benefit OF Salt Lake
capitalists who have persistently worked
the Phoebe bonanzas for the forthcoming
and now certain profits. The Bannock
mill, which has been running success
fully for the last three months, with no
apparent decrease in the mammoth vein
OF ore at the Horn Silver mine was built
and is running exclusively as the result
of Utah investments The half million
dollars paid in dividends by the Idahoan
and Queen of the Hills mines, in Wood
River has gone direct into the pockets OF
| Salt Lake owners. The great mines and
mills of Walkerville and Anaconda. NJ r.
are owned and engineered largely by Salt
Lakers. The big placers OF Osceola, Ne
vada, and Big Hole, Montana, will shell
out their gold nuggets next summer for
the delectation of sinners in Zion. Lew
Martin, Woods and hall score of push
ing Utah men at present and pros
pectiyely find their pockets lined with
yellow boys from the Cpur d'Alene
mines. Bolivar Roberts and other Saints
in our New Jerusalem smile sweetly over
the outcome OF their gold mines and mills
in Sweetwater, Wyoming On the line
OF the Central Pacific, in Nevada, the
| long and meddlesome arms of well-known
! BabylOnians are reaching after the big
| deposits OF Nevada. How much of spec
ulative profits from the recent rise in
Comstocks may have stuck to the pock-
| cts OF Salt Lakers it is difficult to deter
mine, but operators in this city, have an
active interest in the ups and downs of
the imperial treasure-house OF Nevada.
| Over the counters OF Salt Lake bankers,
negotiations for the sale and payments OF
mines in and out of Utah, on a large
scale, are transacted. As a commercial
and mining center, the metropolis of
| Utah asserts herself as master of the
situation. Now that the sun of Austeritz
in its coming splendor illumines the
peaks OF the Wasatch, and political re-
| form and enlightenment promises to
chase away the owls and bats OF an
Asiatic barbarism; the DEMOCRAT pre-
diets the establishment of Board of
Trade and Mining Exchange and the in
f1uX of home and foreign capital that
will make our silver-ribbed mountains
If our church Cronies will pardon an
original illustration-to bud and blossom
as the rose. Long have the enterprisng
and loyal jewellers in Zion cried TO the
watchers on our hill-tops: "What of the
night" The answers that are now com
ing to these valleys OF the mountains, -
are cheering, and hitherto crippled and
stagnant Utah feels new blood bounding
through her veins.
The Tip Top mine on the Gold Belt is
reported to have been sold to Salt Lake
parties for 100000.
FIVE men are doing dead work in the
Senate mine, Galena, this winter opening
up the mine for next season.
A. H. Hamilton came down from the
Allen Group mines yesterday. He has a
lease on this property and is taking out
ore and opening the mine.
One of the furnaces at the Philadel-
phia Shelters was blown in Wednesday
OF last week. Enough ore is now on
hand to run about thirty days.
Mr.. j. G.. Dolan, one of the discoveries
OF the Garfield mine, was in town last
week, his business being to ship some
samples OF the latest ore struck in the
mine, to Salt Lake, for assay. The
samples appear to be rich.
The Lava Creek mines are shipping ore
daily to the Bannock Mill. Negotiations
for the sale OF the Hub and other mines
in that locality are now being made by a
California company, which, if consum-
mated will make things lively in the
Lava Creek country.
All the machinery for the new hoist
ing works at the North Star has been de-
livered at the mine and will be put in
| running order soon. When done, work
in sinking the new shalt Will be pushed
as rapidly as possible.
On Monday, the payday OF the Ana
conda Company, 100000 were paid out

The Anaconda is now receiving seven
ty-fve cars OF ore per day, which amounts
to 800 tons. This amount is treated by
the smelter every day.

wood and $50 tons of coal are consumed
at the Anaconda smelter every day. The
company also ships ll2 cords OF wood
every day to the Anaconda and st. Law
renee mines in Butte.
The Union Pacific has Just secured the
right OF way and located a line to the
known as the Chambers syndicate. The
starting point OF the new line will be at
some point on tbs Anaconda high line, a
short distance west OF Main street, Butte.
The line will run thence directly to the
Mountain Consolidated, Wake Up jim,
Green Mountain, High Ore and the Mo-
doc mines, owned by the Chambers syn
dictate. All OF these mines carry low
grade cOpper-silver ores, and it is the in
tention OF the syndicate to work the mines
and treat the ore at Anaconda. In this
connection it may be well to State that
the Chambers syndicate has acquired
control OF the new concentrator and
stamp mill recently erected by the Ana
conda Company at this place, or have
secured lease. The new works will be
operated separately from the Anaconda
smelter,
The Territorial Treasurer estimates the
value OF the total yield of the mines of
Idaho in 1856 at Sl0,2S7, 0OO-of which
AIturas gets credit for about 81 800, 600,
TINS leaving less than $4,000 900 for the
other counties Of the Territory.
